Default Need an olive branch...

I've smoked the AF Short Story and 8-5-8 over the last two days and really like their taste profiles. Can anyone recommend other brands that are similar in taste to these?

I would highly recommend the AF WOAM (Arturo Fuente Work of Art Maduro). If you like the short story you can't go wrong with the WOAM.

I've liked most of the Hemingway line with the exception of the short story, which I don't care for much. The classic is my favorite. If you can find Anejos, those are also very good and probably my favorite in the entire Fuente line up.

I might get shot at for saying this, but if you like the Short Story, you might want to try the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Short Perfecto bundles. They are similiar in size and shape, have a similiar flavor profile to me, and are much easier on the pocketbook at around $40 for 15.

Thanks to everyone for the advice...Finger, RP is another line that I enjoy -- big fan of the Royal Vintage.

If you like their flavor profiles, if you really enjoy them, then smoke more of them.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
